THE BIG PICTURE

On the Invasion of Cueta: They always tell you – “A 1990 movie has lived in my head for 36 years… We need to recognize the long game, and understand that the incremental changes are not to be ignored. They are part of the plan. It may be too late for Spain, for Europe. They did not heed the warnings given by the globalist elites themselves. They are overwhelmed and disarmed.” – Kira Davis

$80 Crude, $170 Reality – “Why paper crude prices are lying to you” – Sarah Connor – GOOD ANALYSIS FROM SARAH!!!

Surveillance State Quietly Taking Shape Across America – “Ubiquitous surveillance is just the tip of the iceberg. AI is hooking systems together, enabling a panopticon, a genuine police state. But omnipresent cameras are just the eyes of the beast. The real problem is the creature’s brain, AI.” – Doug Casey

Chaos Agent: Anthony Fauci Represents A System That Needs To Be Cleansed – “I think nothing enrages Americans more than a lack of accountability from government officials. Yes, it happens often, and the public hasn’t taken up torches and pitchforks (yet), but I would point out that these incidents are cumulative and they light a growing fire within the collective memory. Eventually, people are going to snap if they don’t see action taken to rectify past wrongs.” – Brandon Smith

The Curse It is Cast – “Who in this land was not mortally depressed watching Rand Paul’s Senate hearing Wednesday starring Dr. Fauci? (One last time, the center of attention!) We have become a procedural republic, slipping into an impotence of legalistic self-fuckery the way old folks slip into dementia, one lost memory at a time. There sits the murderer of millions cloaked in the banality of his evil — as it was at Nuremburg eighty years ago — and this time, you just have to lump it, America. The law can’t touch him at all. Dr. Fauci ran his own titanically corrupt fiefdom out of the nation’s public health complex. Half-a-million a year wasn’t enough for — let’s call him what he was — an executive bureaucrat.” – James Howard Kunstler

Why Prosecuting Fauci is Off Limits – “Discovery and prosecution of the former NIAID director would expose the entire rotten edifice of the US government. The liabilities would be astronomical.” – John Leake

The Fauci Legend Will Not Die! – “The ferocity of the Covid coverup is a thing to behold.” – Matt Taibbi

Bill Gates Was Secretly Granted TOP SECRET “Q” Security Clearance by the Department of Energy – “During Anthony Fauci’s recent Senate hearing, Senator Rand Paul exposed a stunning revelation: Bill Gates held a Department of Energy “Q” security clearance from 2014 through 2021. A DOE Q clearance is the equivalent of TOP SECRET and can establish eligibility to access some of the most sensitive nuclear information held by the United States government. Why were America’s nuclear secrets entrusted to a known depopulationist?” – Nicolas Hulscher, MPH  – WHY SHOULD ANY ORDINARY CITIZEN HAVE ACCESS TO ANY TOP SECRET INFORMATION, REGARDLESS WHO YOU ARE

 

 

 

 

NEWS

Burying Lindsey Graham Won’t Be Easy – “Long ago, great Senators existed. Resolute and accountable, they represented their governors and state legislatures and asserted those interests in Washington. No longer. A regal Senate with a bold populist House of Representatives do not exist. What we call Senate and House do not make federal law, nor do they perform the small number of defined duties described in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. The making of law has become the work of lobbyists and the regulatory bureaucracy, while other Constitutional duties have become entirely too frightening to even consider, much less perform. The hydra-headed executive branch has become the permanent ruler, the center of state power, poisonous and deadly. The hydra was captured in video at Graham’s funeral, as Netanyahu forcefully issued his latest orders to Rubio and Hegseth.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Yemen, an Islamic betrayal and the expanding battlefield – “Never underestimate Yemen. Yemen shall resolutely match escalation for escalation. Just as Iran is doing.’ – Pepe Escobar

Saudi Arabia’s Choice To Join Trump in Bombing Iraq A Monumental Mistake! – “Desperate for money, Ukraine is taking military drones and advanced weapons out of commission and is selling them on the black market to whomever has the cash. While continuing to demand the EU and US supply – more weapons. Iran continues to ‘retaliate’ for every US hit with latest being Jordan and Kuwait. At what point does the Middle East understand the US and Israel are NOT their friends?” – Helena Glass

Trump and NYT Say There’s a Russian Spy Base in Cuba. Turns Out, It’s a School – Reed Lindsay

The Socialist Monster Awakens – “The Left’s socialist revolt did not come from nowhere—it was the inevitable offspring of years of Democratic radicalization, now turning against the party that created it.” – Victor Davis Hanson

A Wolf In New York City Mayor’s Clothing – “The latest proposals from City Hall suggest New York is becoming a laboratory for communism in America.” – Quoth the Raven

BORDER ‘INVASION’ Hundreds of migrants storm SECOND Spain enclave as ‘shots fired on border’ after 60,000 breach EU territory in 24 hours – “The chaos in Ceuta, which has a population of under 84,000, has spread to Spain’s second North African enclave of Melilla.” – Georgie English and Gerard Couzens

The Gibraltar calculus: Is Spain’s Ceuta included in Abraham Accords? – “The obvious question, the one every wire service asked, was what triggered the surge. The more interesting question is who benefits, and why the answer keeps circling back to Washington and the alignment it built. What on the surface looks like a sudden migration crisis bears all the hallmarks of a coordinated strategic push. A manageable border breach, instantly weaponized by American MAGA influencers and Israeli figures, recalls Rabat’s original bargain: entry into the Abraham Accords in exchange for U.S. recognition of Western Sahara.” -Yakup Kenan

Entire Russian City Enveloped In Smoke & Darkness After Major Refinery Attacked – “The major Russian industrial city of Volgograd, in the country’s southwest, is being engulfed in smoke and darkness on Friday after a wave of Ukrainian drone attacks scored several hits on key sites. A sprawling energy facility, as well as warehouse belonging to the online retailer Wildberries, went up in flames, resulting in several injuries. During the attack a residential area was also struck, resulting in the death of a woman in her destroyed home.” – Tyler Durden

The Student Loan Crisis Is Exploding – “Student loan defaults have surged to 9.2 million borrowers, representing roughly one in every five people with student debt. What is astonishing is the speed of the deterioration. There were approximately 6 million borrowers in default last August. That figure jumped to 7.7 million by December. By April it had reached 9.2 million. Another 3 million borrowers are reportedly at least 90 days delinquent and appear headed in the same direction.” – Martin Armstrong

Top 0.1% Pay more Tax than Bottom 80% – “New IRS data says the top 0.1% of taxpayers — one in a thousand — pays more than the bottom 80% of taxpayers. Turns out we’re eating the rich after all.” – Peter St Onge

PM sentiment low as it gets – “Few investors are interested in major upheavals facing global finances. Disinterest in summer is normal, but this is a time of maximum danger to personal wealth. It is a fact that after 55 years of this fiat currency regime, the top 500 investment managers with an estimated $140—$150 trillion under management are clueless about money and credit. For them, gold and its PM cousin silver is losing them “money”. This is why sentiment is gloomy. But if they account in gold, they still have their gold and no credit risk. This is important, since without doubt credit risk is escalating. No chart tells you this, so technical analysis as commonly practiced is no guide, because all charts share the basic assumption of the clueless millions. All commodities, stocks, and bonds are always priced in national currencies, which are credit issued by government agents with their counterparty and hidden debauchment risk.” – Alasdair Macleod

 

 

 

 

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Rural Prepper OPSEC: How Your Neighbors Already Know You’re Prepared – “Living out past the pavement gives you room to stockpile, garden, raise livestock, and store fuel without a homeowners association breathing down your neck. It also gives you neighbors who notice everything, from the extra chest freezer humming away in your garage to the pallet of canned goods that showed up on your porch last Tuesday. Rural prepper OPSEC is the practice of managing what those neighbors, delivery drivers, repairmen, and casual acquaintances actually learn about your preparedness efforts, and for most rural preppers, that practice is a lot weaker than they assume.” – Bob Rodgers  – LATELY THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF ARTICLES ON HIDING YOUR PREPS AND WHAT YOU DO, PROBABLY BECAUSE THE SURVEILANCE STATE IS PICKING UP AND EXPANDING.

The Latrine Is Too Close – “A post-collapse latrine can look perfectly functional while quietly threatening everything around it. It may have privacy, a sturdy seat and enough capacity for the group. It may control odour reasonably well and be located close enough to reach at night. None of that matters if contaminated runoff is moving toward the well, waste is leaching through porous soil, or spring flooding is carrying it into the garden and surface water.” – denob
